SANDMAN’S DEFINITIVE RATINGS: CELTIC v BARCAWELL…
“We will be relentless in our pursuit for perfection. We won’t ever be perfect – but in the process we will achieve greatness.” – Vince Lombardi
VINDALOO – 6.5/10 – Jeez, Vinny likes to tempt fate at times; the ghost of the Friendly Ghost, Kasper, haunted him with the dodgy slipped pass to an under-pressure Reo for the opener. A pastiche of their second against us in
January. Given he can see the press coming and that it is their most potent weapon, he’s got to shoulder equal responsibility for that shocker. However, still managed some smart saves and exudes confidence which strengthens the resolve of the harangued back four in front of him.
KATIE – 6.5/10 – Another display of battling intensity from KT. Difficult shift against pace and movement but he kept himself in it physically for an admirable length of time.
MELLOW YELLOW – 6/10 – Surprised to see the big lad in, and dismayed to know Azteco was injured. But was never worried that young Colby couldn’t gallop his way through this testing afternoon. Handled their attacking verve well, with youthful enthusiasm, and always eager to support his winger.
OF JUSTICE – 7/10 – Probably up there with last week’s Zombie pumping as captain Liam’s biggest domestic career challenge. This was against a proper footballing side rotating their frontline constantly. With his young charge at his side it was a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms performance, heroically maintaining focus under stressful pressure, particularly in a tough opening half.
PENDRAGON – 7/10 – With ‘skelping comes maturity. Great shift today, showing he’s got it mentally to complement his physical prowess. Despite lack of game time, he’s impressed with his application. Wonder if he’d fancy another season on loan?
